It’s becoming quite clear to me that I must really love pesto. I have made it with pistachios, sunflower seeds, kale, walnuts, arugula! One reason is definitely the endless possibilities (I am sure I can come up with more), and the other has something to do with hating tomato sauce. Yes, I think I have mentioned that too before.
Likewise, there are also endless possibilities when it comes to spiralizing. (On a side note, when is spiralizing going to be added to the Oxford English Dictionary.) Zucchini will always be the OG spiralized veggie noodles, but don’t count out parsnips. the only dilemma I am currently having is what to call them. I don’t think “poodles” is going to work, but I am liking the idea of “parsnoodles!” What do you think?
Anyways, here is yet another, but certainly not the last recipe for pesto veggie noodles.
